AT&T Sends Lady 300 Page iPhone Bill in Box
Spartans aren't the only things that come in groups of 300, nowadays. AT&T detailed a certain woman's phone bill so well that it took 300 pages to completely write out, and was shipped to it's recipient in a box. Most of those pages were used to describe every single text message the lady had sent. The recipient feels that "This (phone bill) is a lot of waste. It's a cardboard box, a ton of pages, and plus, it was almost $10 to send this, so it does not make any sense." The recipient of the monumental bill signed up for E-billing promptly after this, but not before recording a video for her blog of her opening the 300 page bill. The blog is currently down, probably due to such a large volume of traffic. She took the video with the hope that other people would learn from her mistakes, and sign up for E-billing. Instead, people have already vowed to beat her record next billing period.

***Text Happy***
But thats what happens when you work in marketing for nightclubs on the side.
He was texting "his girl that he was wanting to hook up with". Stupid punk.
And a girl isn't an excuse to not work anyway. That's what multi-tasking is for.
Only on cell phones though. Text messages on a computer where you have a full sized keyboard is very efficient and it's free.
18 cents per text message. I buy $30 of credit and that generally lasts me about two months or so if I dont make any calls, which if I do my credit would last for alot less.
Phone calls are expensive, what a load of shit that I have to pay 18 cents for every 30 seconds you spend talking. Phone calls should be a flat rate. What a sad world it is that we have to pay a government owned telecom to communicate with others. Its fair enough that you pay bills of electricity and gas per your usage levels, but to communicate? It should be provided as a government service for a minor fee.
As it is I like texting because I can communicate alot more. I prefer not to talk to people over the phone. Generally your only trying to please the person on the other end and be polite and all the other stuff youd rather not have to do to get a point across. Texting means you can send a formal message without the added on bullshit that ends up making it expensive and longer than needed. Phone calls are for close family, girlfriends and contacting places of business only. Using them to talk to friends is relatively pointless.
It's also much more polite to text in a public place with lots of people. Few things piss me off more at a restaurant, than when somebody in the booth behind or next to me, is gabbing endlessly on their phone. It makes me want to dive across the booth and shove the phone down their throat.
Not only that, I HATE talking on the phone.
Ditto.
I hate it almost as much as answering the phone when the call is for someone else, which is like 95% of the time.
You say if it can't be said in 3 words its worthy of a phone call....
but you hate texting?
:confused:
My text's avg ~3-5 words tops.
Hate texting, the crime of the future.
